God when did racism, homophobia, and misogyny become the new opinions you can hold instead of developing an identity

Honestly? Maybe sometime around mid-late 2015 after Donald announced his first run for president.

The moment he was taken seriously, it emboldened all the chuds.

Upon further thought, I believe that year also marked the start of what led to Brexit as the UK Conservative Party won a majority. Not a great year.

It'll be great to actually play Drunken Master Monk instead of just being an Open Fist Monk who drank all the time.

I'd be willing to bet a significant amount of the downvotes stem from this meme being nearly indistinguishable from something that gets posted on Parlor or Truth Social.

It's hard to tell whether or not they truly don't understand, or they do, and they're just saying shit to rile up their base.

Not sure how much it matters either way, though. Consciously or not, it's still the spread of misinformation.

I love how fuzzy they are.

The "self-help" circuit always felt like a grift, so I guess going all out on the grifting was naturally the next step.

They would have come to Lemmy if it was the platform they wanted. We can bitch and moan about them wanting something that we think is against their best interests, but what'll that do?

I don't really get all the pessimism. Even if folks are right in saying there'll be a bait and switch, this is people moving to a new platform en masse. If Bluesky goes to shit there's more reason to believe users would just move again.

In the meantime, as members of the fediverse, we should be using Bluesky being "decentralized" as a way to ease people into actually decentralized platforms.

SmartTube for TV and ReVanced/uYouPlus for Andriod/IOS devices. SmartTube can be tricky to set up depending on the TV, but the mobile apps are relatively simple to get working.

If I'm understanding correctly, I think "ERB" here is referring to "Epic Rap Battles" which would make the "starter" the first one to rap in the relevant video.

What bothers me about the people taking the bit of time and effort to go vote for 3rd parties is that there's really no point to it. Making sure your own vote doesn't matter is insane to me when voting isn't mandatory. They could've just done nothing and achieved the same outcome.

It's hard to decide which line was his biggest flub, but I'd have to give it to "I have concepts of a plan."
